Hello Joseph
Thank you for getting in touch with us. As I see, you have being suffering from cold,cough, mouth ulcers, allergy problems etc and have been taking Bio C for it. Bio C is just a multivitamin pack and won't take care of most of the problems you are suffering from. We would recommend you to get in touch with your Doctor who might conduct a few tests to confirm the diagnosis. It might be a case of some allergic reaction, infection, flu etc. Therefore, it would be impossible for us to make the diagnosis without examining you. As for your mother, you might need to get a DEXA scan for bone density. You need to consult an orthopaedician for that. Hope this helps
Regards
Dr. Gagandeep Dhillon

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Do you have recurrent watery diarrhea, abdominal pain and bleeding per rectum?
There may be possibility of viral induced upper respiratory tract infection with mouth ulcers.
presence of cold, cough along with mouth ulcers suggest the diagnosis.
You should consult with internal medicine specialist and should go for thorough check up.
You and your sister should take multivitamin with zinc supplements, vitamin C, rebapimide and proton pump inhibitors.
You should also take cough suppressants along complete antibiotic course.
You should also go for colonoscopy if above mentioned symptoms are also present.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
